Israel literally bombed a hospital then double tap killed the rescue crew and the journalists covering the original war crime, and it's all on video for anyone to see.
yes. i literally wrote that they bombed a hospital after they followed up somebody who was suspected as hamas spotter with cameras for a few days. they used different ammo than they were approved to, and now there is investigation
in same hospital a couple of dozens of israeli hostages were kept for a while.
at same hospital IDF arrested in past around 100 hamas members who were hiding.
in area where combatants frequently crossdress, it's hard to know who is who
The people you're opposed to think it's them we're biased against, and that we let your side dominate. One of the weird things one learns in this job is how symmetrical these dynamics are; not just about this topic, but every polarized topic.
Many HN commenters deplore what Israel is doing in Gaza. Their views are certainly not suppressed. But your account is the first I saw calling for striking an entire population. That's shocking, and banning is not a borderline call.
The mystery is why/how it's so easy to turn into the thing one deplores. I'm not just talking about you, but a lot of people, and maybe all of us.
I would say dang, that is getting really hard to take this justifications seriously, specially in threads like this where the interlocutor is fishing for reactions. Calling for the whole population to be struck is bad, like really bad; but it's not coming out of nowhere where the other guy is pretty much (politely) celebrating the actual annihilation that is happening right now.
It seems to me that you're repeating the dynamic I just described, which is that you feel like your side is getting treated worse and the opposing side is getting favored. I don't agree that that's the case—not at all. It's just how this cognitive bias works, and it's a powerful one - maybe the most powerful.
I think the way out of this is to agree that a comment like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45019132 is unacceptable regardless of who the commenter wants to see killed. When you add a "but", you undermine that. There shouldn't be a "but" here.
Exactly the same standard applies to the symmetrical situation. If you (or anyone) see other comments which are that egregious, you're welcome to send us links so we can take a look.
That's just a side effect of toxic work environments. If AI can create value, someone will use it to create value. If companies won't use AI because they can't blame it when their boss yells at them, then they also won't capture that value.
Trying to translate "Satoshi Nakamoto" from Japanese to English does not show "Central Intelligence" in any tool I've used. I also find it hard to believe that something that obvious would have never been mentioned. Can any native Japanese speakers confirm this?
AI is so new and so powerful, that we don't really know how to use it yet. The next step is orchestration. LLMs are already powerful but they need to be scaled horizontally. "One shotting" something with a single call to an LLM should never be expected to work. That's not how the human brain works. We iterate, we collaborate with others, we reflect... We've already unlocked the hard and "mysterious" part, now we just need time to orchestrate and network it.
I think you’re right - even if we accept the premise that there’s only room for minor marginal improvements, there’s vast amounts of room for improvement with integrations, mcp, orchestration, prompting, etc. I’m talking mostly about coding agents here but it applies more widely.
It’s a completely new tool, it’s like inventing the internal combustion engine and then going, “well, I guess that’s it, it’s kinda neat I guess.”
I think that's it. Even if there were no improvements with LLMs as they exist today, the integration and usage can still be vastly improved. Right now, we don't have multiple LLM-aware systems communicating, with a standardized information repository.
Right now we have the technology to have an AI observe a room, count the people in it, see what they're doing, observe their mood, and set the lighting to the appropriate level. We just don't have all the sensors and integrations and protocols to manage that. The LLM interfaces with email, your bank, your phone, etc., is crude and clunky. So much more could be done with the LLMs we have now.
(And just to be clear, most of those integrations sound horrible and dystopian. But they're examples.)
Powerful but we don't know how to use it?
If it is as powerful as all you true believers spout the usefulness would be self evident and that would be the display of its power.
But apparently it is powerful just because you say so, and then something, something ... business model ...
This has nothing to do with immigration and everything to do with the UK being a addicted to surveillance. They have a long history of spying on their own citizens.
The country hasn't produced anything of real value in decades - its economy is entirely held together by selling money laundering services to the rich - which brings in an enormous amount of money in percentage fees, but is only available to a few people. Since the money involved is so large, this crowds out actual production.
Yes, it's well known that UK police and politicians have abused children at scale, hence why Saville was able to get away with what he did. He was protected by the crown. There are even pictures of Ghislane Maxwell and Kevin Spacey sitting on the throne (can google it).
The grooming gangs in those towns consisted of men from a variety of occupations, though a clear pattern was the involvement of takeaways and taxi firms. The involvement of police and politicians was mostly limited to denial, dismissal, and cover-up.
Although there have been individual allegations against local politicians[1] and police[2], they do little to help your case here. There certainly were thousands of victims, and I'm not clear why you'd deny that.
I said "mostly", did you miss that? The reality is that these gangs were overwhelmingly not made up of police or politicians, and they did indeed have thousands of victims.
We are long past the point where this sort of denialism will work - it will only generate further backlash. Is that your intention?
I'll leave you with a quote from Baroness Casey's recent report on the subject[1], the recommendations of which have been entirely accepted by the UK Government[2]:
> Despite reviews, reports and inquiries raising questions about men from Asian or Pakistani backgrounds grooming and sexually exploiting young White girls, the system has consistently failed to fully acknowledge this or collect accurate data so it can be examined effectively.
> Instead, flawed data is used repeatedly to dismiss claims about ‘Asian grooming gangs’ as sensationalised, biased or untrue. This does a disservice to victims and indeed all law-abiding people in Asian communities and plays into the hands of those who want to exploit it to sow division.
People were saying this about coding bootcamps just a little while ago! "All of these bootcamp coders don't really know what they're doing and us seniors will have to clean up after them". Same with outsourcing before that. Most people (seniors included) suck at coding. AI is already better than all but the the very best. It will continue to improve.
I'm tired and bored yo remove eval from codecamp and ai agent code. Now every fucking sprint has a few jira shit cards with titles like "fix the bug introduced by ai, fix performance issue from bootcampers. This is not what i became a code monkey for. Get me out of programming!!! This current time driven development mixed with fix the above shit Is making me crazy
Yes, I was told in 2001 that I was never going to make a dime programming due to a combination of the dotcom crash and all the huge tech companies focusing on outsourcing.
I'm not sure how bringing up outsourcing helps what you're saying, because tech salaries went ballistic shortly after outsourcing became popular.
My point is people keep saying the same thing throughout different eras and the truth is the quality of code has always been low. If anything, ai is going to greatly improve it.
They all do it. Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, Instagram. Because it interferes with their business model. It was already bad, but now the conflict between business and the open web is reaching unprecedented levels, especially since the copyright was scrapped for AI companies.
